VCR Plus+ system is a timer recording system designed to simplify programming. It requires you to enter a
®
PlusCode programming number corresponding to a desired program.
You must program the recorder for the special numbers for guide channels (also called VCR Plus+ system channel
numbers) assigned to each channel that you receive. The recorder identifies the channel for recording by the guide
channel number you enter. The guide channel numbers are published in TV guide magazine, selected local TV
publications, or in the channel guide from cable company. If you cannot find the VCR plus numbers, call Gemstar's
customer service department at 1-800-4321-VCR or visit their website at www.vcrplus.com.
